Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

[LoganCoaster]

I havent been since october but if i remember correctly didnt the picture of the hulk on the construction wall have a dark purple almost black shorts on? I cant seem to find any pictures but maybe this would match the new color scheme

No they are purple. The only black is the font for hulk.

Saw this in Universal's future attraction page. Am I crazy, or is this possible concept art? The tunnel looks black and the trains look like they have some kind of orange/red hue?

I don't think it's new, really, seeing the similar pics on google image search

Well the tunnel was definitely made to look darker in the new image, but the trains look the same.

The tunnel is black and as far as I'm aware, the fins at the end of the tunnel are currently removed.

Looks like a photoshoped version of this as others have said. High res image.

Here's the same image with the tube changed colour to black and cropped similar to the Universal page.

So.. were the unfinished backsides of the facades of Port of Entry always visible from the areas around Hulk or is that a new phenomena..?

 

[Blaw923]

So with the track now complete, can anyone lay down a bullet list of actually attraction changes confirmed....?

(No one cares about fresh paint)

Always been that way.

Not sure what you mean? As in changes to the ride? None. The track is the same. There are new trains that (supposedly) will have audio and a lighting package, there's rumored changes to the launch tunnel, and there's a new queue with an upgraded story and effects.

Also, not sure what these are for

So far:

New trains
New queue experience

Could it be for the giant net that covers the walkway?

Although I'd expect the pegs to be pointing upwards, not downwards.

I guess it could be, but theoretically wouldn't they only need one bracket and not ones all up and down the support?

 

[ChrisM]

Didn't they run electrical conduit up those for the red obstruction lights at the tops of the supports?

Yup, though some of the exterior queue signage that's missing now made them much less obvious.

They appear at the cobra roll too.

I don't really know what to make of this now.

I don't really know why this is all just coming to a head. I posted a shot of these very brackets well over a month ago :shrug:

We're slow, Bro.

I think we were blinded by the excitement of the track almost being complete. Upon saying that, that I beam stuck out like a sore thumb...

 

[snayberry]

I wish I wasn't so chicken and could go on this ride. I would probably poop myself though.

Hulk enhancement concept art finally released!

Spoiler: Hulk Smash

Sorry had to. This is IOA concept art from sometime prior to opening (95ish?).
In all seriousness, how blue sky is concept art typically? To me this launch tube seems incredibly advanced for even today's standards let alone 1999. Would be very cool to see some of these changes implanted in the enhancement. Especially love all the lasers. And notice how the end of the tunnel has daylight completely obscured.
